The Rising Phoenix

However, what Bai Xifeng saw was a pile of documents. She took one and read it. It was a deed property. She tossed it away. She took another one, and it was another deed property. The third time, she took the document, which was an accounting book.

This treasure room was not actually a treasure. It was just a store room for important documents. However, Mori stated it was a treasure. There must be something inside this room.

After scanning the room many times, Bai Xifeng finally found a box. She opened the box and saw a jade pendant inside it. When she picked it up, she could feel some character engraved behind the jade pendant. It stated Ling. Something attractive about this jade pendant. She decided to take the jade pendant first and put it inside the Mirror World. Nothing else could wait.

There was nothing valuable here anymore. Bai Xifeng wanted to leave. She slowly stepped out. The guard noticed nothing. She slipped into her room without anyone.

She was tired but happy. So, it was not difficult to sleep when she was tired.

....

The next morning, Bai Xifeng woke up when she heard some noises. She got out of the room. Her father and brother were already awake. They turned to Bai Xifeng, who had just appeared.

"Good morning." Bai Xifeng said to her father and brother.

"Here, eat this. They gave us some breakfast. Father and I already ate." Bai Tingfeng said.

Bai Xifeng did not refuse any food, sat down and ate the food. Not long after that, a servant came over and invited the Bai Family to the main hall. They probably wanted to discuss their plan. The Bai Family went to the main hall.

Zhu Guan and others were already sitting at their seats. Zhu Guan invited the three of them to sit near him. Bai Xifeng sat between Bai Xiang and Bai Tingfeng.

"Last night, we had been attacked by that villain. It was lucky that Sir Bai was here. He dealt with the villain. However, that villain has their master. In order to live peacefully, we need to kill the master. Sir Bai already promised to work with us to deal with the master. With Sir Bai, I am sure that we will win this battle." Zhu Guan stated.

Everyone was happy to hear the statement.

"So, when are we going to attack them?" Bai Xiang asked.

Zhu Guan laughed. "It seems Sir Bai is eager to destroy the evil." Zhu Guan said.

"It is not like that. We need to leave as soon as possible because we can not stay longer in one place." Bai Xiang said.

"Oh... I see... If that is the case, let's do it tonight." Zhu Guan said.

"Hmm... So, I can go out during the day, right? I want to check on the market." Bai Xifeng said.

"No!" Zhu Guan shouted. Then, he apologised. "I am sorry for shouting, but it would be best if you don't go out today. Someone already saw you enter our house. I am afraid that you might be attacked while you are walking around the town."

"Owh... I see..." Bai Xifeng sighed.

"You can walk around our mansion." Zhu Guan suggested.

"It is fine. I will cultivate in my room." Bai Xifeng refused.

She did not want to do it. There was no benefit in walking around the mansion. She already did that yesterday.

They began to discuss the plan. Bai Xifeng showed a bored expression when she listened to their conversation. Finally, after one whole hour, they ended the conversation.

The Bai Family returned to their courtyard. The three of them sat around the table.

"They really believe us on their side." Bai Tingfeng said.

"Father acts very realistically. That is why they are really convinced." Bai Xifeng chuckled.

"So, Father, what is our plan?" Bai Tingfeng asked.

"I am thinking of switching sides during the attack." Bai Xiang said. "But we still did not know whether the other side was the real mayor or not. What if they are just rivals?"

"Father, I think the other side is indeed the mayor of this town." Bai Xifeng stated.

"How do you know about that?" Bai Xiang was surprised and asked.

"I send my bees to scout the information. From what my bees heard, Zhu Guan is indeed not the mayor. However, he is the richest person in this town. He wanted to be the mayor himself. The mayor of this town is Wu Shunyuan. They have been fighting since last year, and it seemed Wu Shunyuan was losing the battle." Bai Xifeng stated.

"If you are involved right now and side with Zhu Guan, without any doubt, Zhu Guan would be able to eliminate Wu Shunyuan." Bai Tingfeng stated.

"Zhu Guan did not allow me to go out because he was afraid that his secret would be revealed." Bai Xifeng said.

"If only we could warn Wu Shunyuan about tonight's attack." Bai Xiang stated.

"We totally can do it." Bai Xifeng said.

"Huh?" Bai Xiang and Bai Tingfeng looked at Bai Xifeng.

"How can we do it?" Bai Xiang wanted to know.

"We can deliver the letter to him." Bai Xifeng grinned.

"But we can not go out." Bai Tingfeng said.

"We can't go out, but our contracted beast can, especially my beast, the Bloodthirsty Bat." Bai Xifeng grinned wider.

"Indeed." Bai Xiang nodded while also grinning.
